(King Crimson, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Peter Wolf, Paul Simon, Nine Inch Nails, Tori Amos, Cindy Lauper, William Shatner, Grammy nominated recording artist)
"Radial makes products no one else has thought to make and builds them better than anyone else can."
Allan Holdsworth       www.therealallanholdsworth.com
(Soft Machine, Tony Williams Lifetime, Guitar Player magazine hall of fame)
"The Radial Switchbone sounds great! It is the best ABY box that I have used and the transformer isolation makes it easy to combine any two amps without noise."
Andy Timmons       www.andytimmons.com
(ATB, Danger Danger)
"I've used Radial both live and in the studio and am truly impressed. Great stuff! Radial is at the cutting edge of guitar tone improvement!"
Audley Freed       Audley's Wikipedia page
(Black Crowes, Cry Of Love, Joe Perry, Chris Robinson, Dixie Chicks, Peter Frampton)
"Having the Loopbone in my pedalboard makes everything easier. This pedal is so versatile I'll be using it in lots of different ways for different situations. The Drag™ control is just what the doctor ordered for certain pedals". "The Headbone has become an essential part of my live set-up. Being able to switch two heads into one cabinet means less stuff to haul and less space needed on stage. Plus I can hear better when everything is coming out of one cab. This thing is great!!"
Brent Mason       www.brentmason.com
(Nashville's busiest sesson guitarist)
"The Radial Cabbone has made my life so much easier. Now on a session there is no hassle of switching speaker cables manually between cabs. At a click of a switch it's done! Best of all, the Cabbone does not mess with my tone!"
Buddy Guy       www.buddyguy.net
(Recording artist, legendary bluesman)

"The Radial BigShot ABY is great! I use it to switch between Buddy's wireless system and direct wired guitar before it goes into the Radial JD7 and his various amps. The Radial gear is the best."
~ Mark Messner - Stage manager, Buddy Guy

Butch Walker      www.butchwalker.com
(Avril Lavigne, Pink, Lindsay Lohan, Simple Plan, Sevendust, Hot Hot
Heat, Fall Out Boy)

"The Radial JD7 made my guitar sounds so much thicker and punchier. I think the Drag feature should be built into everything ever made!"

Carl Harvey       www.carlharvey.net
  
(Messenja, Toots and the Maytalls)
"Think of the Trimode as another two killer channels added to your amp. It's the most musical, best sounding OD pedal I have owned in more than 25 years, bar none. If you are concerned with tone, you have to check it out. The Dragster sounds like a cable pugged straight into the amp. My wireless has never sounded so good! "
César Rosas      www.loslobos.org
(Los Lobos)
"I use my Radial Hot British on fly-in dates when using the big rig is impossible to bring along. My Tonebone Hot British rocks!"
Daryl Stuermer   www.darylstuermer.com
(Genesis, Peter Gabriel)
"The Tonebone Plexitbe is the most versatile distortion pedal I own. It's also the quietest I've ever used. I find all Radial products to be designed with sound quality, easy operation and durability in mind."
Dave Martone   www.davemartone.com
(Master shredder, recording artist, Parker clinician)
"Tonebone made it easy to create an abundance of different tones with either the Hot British or Classic 'bone pedals. The sounds are huge and real!! These pedals are a must have for all guitar players."
David Henman   www.davidhenmanband.com

(April Wine, David Henman Band)
"I love my Tonebones! They give me the flavours of overdrive and distortion I have been seeking for most of my career. Unlike other boxes I have tried, the tone doesn't become unmusical when you lower the guitar volume. Lush feedback and sustain is effortless, and there's more gain on hand than I will ever need. Also essential to my rig is my Radial BigShot PB1, that I mainly use to level the playing field for single coil vs humbucking pickups."
Dominic Miller       www.dominicmiller.com
(Sting, The Pretenders)
"Fantastic! As soon as I plugged the Trimode in, I knew it would work for me."
Duke Robillard       www.dukerobillard.com
(Roomfull of Blues, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Jimmy Witherspoon, Bob Dylan)
"The Trimode is great! I especially love how it turns a solid state amp into a great sounding tube amp. I can't say I use it on everything, but with quite a few of my amp set-ups it really works out perfectly."
Eric Johnson       www.ericjohnson.com
(Grammy award winning guitarist, winner - Guitar Player 'best guitarist' for 5 yrs)
"As soon as I plugged the Tonebone Classic in, I could not believe how quiet it was. I was very impressed. It is both responsive and musical. I can honestly say that I truly appreciate the Tonebone and feel that it is a valid addition to the very fabric of the distortion guitar sound. This is a rare find."
Frank Gambale       www.frankgambale.com
(Chick Corea, Grammy award winner - Elektric Band)
"I recently did some recording with Chick Corea where we used the Hot British to record direct. As sceptical as I am about direct devices for guitar sounds, the Radial Tonebone Hot British surprised me with its variety and quality of tone. Chick loved it and so did I. It sounds
great! Well done guys!"
Jeff Bihlman      www.bihlmanbros.com
(Bihlman Brothers, Emmy award winner - soundtrack)
"I love my Loopbone! The switching is flawless. The loops are easy to use and the Slingshot has enabled me to totally eliminate the channel switching pedal from my already crowded pedalboard. The mad scientists at Radial are scary good! Thanks man."
Gary Moore      www.gary-moore.com/
(EMI / Sactuary / Virgin recording artist)
"I get sent all kinds of gear for free but never accept it. I prefer to buy the equipment I use. I bought my Tonebone Classic."
Jeff Waters       www.annihilatormetal.com/annihilator_main.html
(Annihilator)
"The Tonebone Hot British gives me the many different "levels" of warmth and distortion that I need for crunchy, yet tight, rhythm metal guitar playing and allows me to get very different tones for soloing. For leads, I can find various settings that give me distinctly different solo sounds, from clean and "bitey", to messy and ear-piercing... all this in one pedal. The Hot British is amazing."
Jim Messina      www.jimmessina.com

(Loggins & Messina, Poco, Bufallo Springfield)
"I use Radial gear in my studio on a daily basis and I'm here to say, it performs flawlessly!"
Joe Nichols      www.joenichols.com
(Solo Artist)
"After inserting the two guitarists' SGI's, we heard those words all engineers long for..."hey, that sounds better". These devices are outstanding. I love the fact I can remote a guitar amp 50 meters and not even blink. Thanks!" ~ Chris 'Sully' Sullivan, FOH - Joe Nichols
Joe Perry       www.joeperrymusic.com
(Aerosmith)
"Since adding the Radial JD7, SGI and Headbone to my rig, my sound on stage has never been better!"
John Rzeznik       www.googoodolls.com
            
(Goo Go Dolls)
"Whether we are playing live or recording in the studio, Radial DIs are the only ones we use. They're built like tanks and eliminate noise without killing tone. I love them."
Johnny A       www.johnnya.com
(Favoured Nations recording artist)
"For me, the key to a great pedal is it's ability to be transparent when not engaged. The 'Switchbone' gives my rig plenty of options when called upon, but also stays out of the way when not! The Switchbone is Amazing!"
Juanes       www.juanes.net
(Solo artist, twelve-time Latin Grammy Award winner)
"My Tonebone Classic distortion sounds very good! It has a solid bottom end and wide range of colors."
Keith Scott       www.myspace.com/bryanadams
(Bryan Adams)
"I Love my new tri-mode pedal. The versatility and sounds are so inspiring! A great piece of equipment in any application, studio or live. Well done radial engineering!"
Kerry King       www.slayer.net
(Slayer)
"The JDX captures my sound with previously unobtainable control and clairity, offering our soundman a direct injection of sonic rage!"... "Radial gear is incredibly roadworthy and has improved my overall tone. I get less hum and buzz and a cleaner signal. Awesome! Radial gear rules."
Kirk Hammett       www.metallica.com/Band/Kirk.asp
(Metallica)
"This box (Tonebone Hot British) is very deserving of the word Hot--I definitely love my Bone !!"
Lyle Workman       www.lyleworkman.com
(Beck, Todd Rundgren, movie soundtracks: Superbad, 40-year old virgin, Made)
"The Switchbone is a must have for anyone needing a AB-Y pedal to switch between two amps. It assures that both amps are properly grounded AND in phase, and sounds better than any other AB-Y box I've ever heard. The variable boost sounds great and is a Godsend to have on board... This pedal is a complete winner."
Mark Tremonti       www.marktremonti.net
(Alter Bridge, Creed)
"For years I've been trying to combine all of my favorite tones on stage without carrying a ton of amps and cabinets on stage. The Headbone helps me get there. Thank God I found it. I only wish I had it years ago... I love my Headbone!"
Michael Cusson       www.michelcusson.com
(UZEB, multi-award winning film score & TV composer)
"I was blown right away when I first patched the JD-7. It changed the way I record guitars; a very creative tool."
Myles Goodwyn       www.aprilwine.ca/myles.html
(April Wine)
"The Headbone works exactly like I hoped it would. I can now switch back & forth between the Marshall 2000 and the Peavey 5150 for greater tone options while giving me an instant back-up should ever an amp go down. After 55 gigs, the Headbone has worked flawlessly. Kudos to Radial for inventing such a useful device"
~ Brit Fader, Guitar Tech - April Wine
Neal Schon       wwww.schonmusic.com
(Journey, Santana)
"Tonebone pedals sound great! They are incredibly responsive, dynamic and warm. Best of all, they react like a real amp-channel. Perfect for cleaner amps that need that extra kick!"
Nick Sterling       www.nicksterling.com
(Recording artist)
"The J48 direct box takes my signal straight into the console. This is the DI I use to get my signal into my DAW and then back out through the X amp for re-amping. The X-amp is really, really cool in the studio. It gets me out from behind the guitar and bass so I can do some engineering. It gives you the option of choosing the right amp for the track. Super cool product!"
